finally got the onions planted a couple days ago, --- rain again today so they should be o.k.
I know it dont look like plants in the pic, but trust me---- there are 18 bunches planted in 6 full rows 130' long and part of the 7th row. the rest of the 7th row has beets, carrots and dill in it.
prob look like this in now time....

My garlic & nesting onions are doing well, going to plant my tomatoes & peppers this week.
I am trying rat tail radishes & more black Spanish radishes this year.
wonder if we will see the FOOD lines like POUS talked about.
Got late purple Irish potatoes too.
 
My roses are going into full bloom, the garden is growing along great. Our 8 year old was super excited about growing a garden and was very helpful during planting, watering and watchin for issues but I think reality struck when I showed him the broccoli getting big and asked how he wanted it cooked because we are going to have lots of it very soon LOL!

I just repotted twenty of these bulbs, some where as small as a pea, others bigger than a hen egg.
Hippeastrum San Antonio Rose
Hippeastrum aulicum stenopetalum
Hippeastrum gracilis dulcinea Scarlet Baby
I also pot up six no name bulbs, that started as one bulb someone gifted me some years ago.
So I am ready for a bath & bed, being retired is hard work.
Guess I will do the walking Iris next.
 
I dont use corn bags---- no time for that here! lol! This year I only have 5 rows of corn that came up out of 22 rows planted.
The short season onions are winding down---- probably be a week or more yet before they are ready to harvest.
Had first picking of greenbeans 2 days ago. Tomatoes have small green ones set. Summer squash plants all want to die! not sure if we will have any or not of them. --- several squash and pumpkin vines have died for some reason. Lost a few last year but not this many.
Potatoes starting to get bugs so spraying them every time I turn around. some small spuds about golf ball size set. now if they just grow full size without any trouble.
Jap bugs arrived yesterday and destroying everything green. Cant spray it all so we see what we can save. grapes have a lot set but wont be ripe til September so something will destroy all of them again.
Sweet potatoes look the best so far and everything needs water again. I cant carry enough water to all of the garden fast enough to satisfy the plants.
